bar, remarking in regard to the dogs:
"Them no ikee Chinaman; alice same
Dennis Kearney." He laid down some
nickels before the barkeeper and asked
for pousse cafe. He was informed that
no liquor was sold in the house. "Oh,"
said he, "what for you keep bar, no sell
w'isky?" The conversation was over
heard by a somewhat hilarious individ-
ual, apparently a clerk, who had just
finished lunch, and animated by
Quixotic impulse, he stepped up to the
bar and said: "John, you shall
have drink with me, or l will never
enter this house again" The bar
keeper informed him that no liquor was
sold to Chinese in that house. "Then
that settles it, loftily retorted the clerk,
81 quit this house." Turning to the at
tendant at the lunch counter, he said,
with an Edwin Booth gesture, Goodbye
Nick, this is the last you'll see of this
chicken" He and the Chinaman left
arm in arm, but careful inquiry has failed
to show that the effect of the boycott has
been in any way different from that OF

Rheims:
Twas terrible curse.
But no one seemed one penny the worse.

$50, 900 MORE IN SALES
The Heavy Transactions Of the First
Day in This Week-The Spirit
Of Mumness.
The Sale OF the South Half OF the
Old Salt Lake House 10
Auerbach Brothers.
Some Big Transactions in East Bench
Property Lot for $6,5OO,
and Another for $4,000.

Yesterday was marked by some heavy
real estate sales, and as result there
are endless rumors floating about to-day
in relation to some big transactions IN
Main street property In the absence OF
yerifcation, however, these are withheld
for the present and we give below only
such as are "sure CO."
THE AUERBACH PURCHASE.
The biggest sale reported, is that of the
the south side of the old Salt Lake House
on Main street, forty-three feet nine
inches front, and running back to Com
mercial street. The purchase was made
to Messrs. Fred. II. and Samuel Auer-
bach, from Feramourz Little and James
T. Little, and the transaction was nego-
tiated and closed by Sells & Crisman, a
new real estate firm that has recently
opened up. The price paid was 5000 per
foot or 500, $50 for the entire piece.
Mr.. Fred. Auerbach was asked by a
DEMOCRAT reporter if he had any plans
as to the future of the site, and replied
that he had none that he cared
to make public just yet. He, however,
gave the reporter the privilege of imagin-
ing anything he chose, and judging from
the enterprise of the well-known firm, it
is not difficult to concede that the plans,
whatever they are, will be on a grand
scale.
TWO BIG SALES
OF property in the eastern part OF town
were also made yesterday.
Mrs. D. G. Dunbar transferred the
large lot across the street south from the
Sisters Hospital to Mr.. L. R. Enrich,
the consideration being $500.
Miss Annie Hooper sold large lot on
the Tenth ward bench, just back of the
Salt Lake Brewery, to L. R. Enrich fol
$1,000.
WHITE & co.
Have made a few small sales since
Saturday. Among them are these:
Seymour Young to l.. +. Enrich, To-
10x2O rods in Eleventh ward, for 500.
William Showells to Mrs. Annie Pan
quist, lot in First ward, for $3.50.
Mrs. VIM. Doxey to L. r. Enrich, 10
in Twenty-First Ward for 5000.
j. E. M, Leonard sold to j. N. Syringe

An Attempt to Promulgate MIR.
Dickson i'm the Police Court.
An interesting little incident came up
in the Police Court to-day during the
trial of petit civil suit between one Mrs.
Shelmerdine and one Mr.. Ensign.
The suit was brought by the former to
recover three feet of ground, which both
of them claim. The fence between the
two lots has stood on certain line for
several years until about three weeks
ago, Mr.. Ensign decided that it was three
feet too near to him and proceeded forth
with to move it to what he claims to be
the proper place. Mrs. Shelmerdine now
brings suit for the recovery of the ground
and the case was set for trial to-day.
1t was decided to have a jury and Mr..
C. o. Whittemore, decided to have one
on the latest approved plan. The jurors
were sworn and the examination was
proceeded with. When Mr.. White
more got hold of the jurors he began
to ask them if they were willing to
take an oath that they would
never embrace the divine principle-or,
in other words, that they would never
embrace more than one wife. This was
too much for the Court and the questions
were promptly overruled. This is a case
where the Court found it inconvenient to
follow the ruling of the higher authority.

LAST NIGHTS OPERA.
A Disappointed Audience Witness,
ssErminie.S

A Disappointed Audience Witnesses
EEErminie."
Such an audience as the one which as
sembled at the Theatre last evening, fol-
lowing SO closely upon the heavy Booth
drain, was indeed phenomenal, and was
the best proof that could be given of the
popularity of Carlton with the Salt Lake
public. In view of all that had been said
of the new opera, "Erminie," it was
not unnatural that those who
bought seats for last nights performance
should have expected a treat rather above
the usual, and it is no more strange that
those who sat through the performance
should have been disappointed with the
opera. There is, in fact, so little to Ger
minie," that it is hard to tell where it
gets its claim to the title of an opera.
The principal fault with the piece is its
lack of faults in fact it is so thin that it
does not rise to the dignity of being able
to support fault. Entire reconstruction
could hardly better the opera unless the
reviser were to steer very clear of the
original. AS to the music, some
of it is good, but it lacks the
happy Catchy characteristic so
necessary to the success of light opera. A
sort of tameness pervades the choruses,
and there is void left which cannot be
filled-as the pink tights are-by the
shapely limbs of Carleton's charmers.
To tell the truth, the male portion of the
audience began to realize for the first
time that an opera company cannot travel
far on shape alone, although, other things
being equal, it does go great way.
Mr.. Drew, who made so great a hit
when here before, was again on top last
evening, and got a corner on the ap-
plause and laughter. Drew is good and
even "Erminie" failed to spoil him. He
made all there was to his part and a good
deal more-what else could be asked.
Carleton, himself, was in good voice,
and his interpolated songs were among
the best things heard.
Fanny Rice, the plump little piece of
prettiness who first appeared here with
the tRag Baby" company, was entirely
herself last evening, and did great deal
to delight the audience.
Miss Wisdom was at her best as the
Princess, though the part is not an alto
gether pleasing one.
The failure of Miss Vincent to appear
was the cause of general regret and a
good deal of censure. Carleton claims
that she was obliged to go through to
Denver on account of sickness, but the
public would prefer to think that it has
been duped.
"Nanon" goes tonight.

unknown company have contract from
the Midland for putting down the con-
Meeting railroad links from Colorado to
the Pacific Coast. We shall soon miss
Mr.. Kimball and find him making for the
road. All the minor roads of Colorado
in the line will be united to form that
section of the through Midland. A DEM
oCRAT reporter saw Mr.. Kimball to-day
but he could learn nothing from him Of
railroad matters, he knows nothing
about railroads, midland, or matters per-
tanning TO them" This fact is to the
reporter the last evidence necessary to
confirm the truth of the rumor. Mr.. K has
also learned the shutupativeness peculiar
to the Midlanders. Mr.. Kimball has just
returned from Southern Colorado, where
he met and talked with many business
men. Their conversation was principally
boom, and he learned that "Salt Lake
City is the place where the people in
that country are expecting to see the
next BOOM" The Midland goes through
and the boom approaches.
